Research areas: Europe-Middle East ties, Middle East history, Arab-Israeli conflict

Naama Barak is a PhD candidate at the European Forum. Her research focuses on the development of the European Community’s policy on the Arab-Israeli conflict in the 1970s. Under the supervision of Prof. Elie Podeh and Dr. Gadi Heimann, Naama aims to shed light on a historically unexplored chapter in the European Community's foreign policy. Naama's main areas of academic interest are Europe-Middle East ties, Middle East history and the Arab-Israeli conflict. When not working on her research Naama is a huge news junkie, a passion not diminished by years spent working as an editor and writer at Israel's leading English-language news outlets.
